Milepost 6 - Myrtle Beach Bike Week

The countdown to one of the largest events on the east coast, Myrtle Beach Bike Week, has begun.


In recent years there was a concerted effort to dissuade the riders from coming to Myrtle, thanks to the work of the Mayor and a few council men.  This included, but was not limited to a local ordinance requiring helmets.  This was overturned by the S.C. Supreme court.     


The dates for 2012 are May 11 - May20 and if all goes well  the crowds that fell away during the negative  actions should be returning.



There are dozens of sites up and down the Grand Strand and here are a few that we've enjoyed over the years.

Suck Bang Blow: Myrtle Beach Biker Burn Out Bar


The Beaver Bar, Cold Beer and Hot Chicks        


Broken Spoke Saloon                        


The Rat Hole       

Riding at the Grand Strand is great and during the spring the temps are comfortable.  The crowds and traffic vary depending on location and time of day. Murells Inlet can be difficult in the evenings due to the large number of restaurants but that's all part of the environment.

We will be covering the event with both still pics and video again this year....but here is a sample.
